Adults Therapists in Birmingham

“We meet the person of our dreams and it is as if a magical transformation takes place. Life feels full of promise and happiness. We feel energized and whole. Then, before we know it, the relationship has changed and our partner no longer seems to be so perfect. We become desparate to get the magic back. Feeling unsatisfied, we struggle to get our partner to give us what we need and want. Criticism, anger, blame, or withdrawal replace the interactions that used to be so mutually enjoyable. Frustration settles in because the relationship is stuck, going nowhere.

“I am a Board Certified Pastoral Counselor and Therapist. I respect that life happens to us all, causing us to struggle with failure, shame, disappointments, rejection, broken relationships, hopelessness, etc. During such seasons, everyone needs support, encouragement and guidance in order to pick up the broken pieces of life and start again. I would like to hear your story and walk you with as you regroup,start the recovery journey and find yourself again. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you in a non-judgemental environment that encourages forgiveness of oneself and others.

“Most of us arrive at times when we can benefit from talking with a knowledgeable person who can listen with the objective of helping us to understand ourselves. My goal as a counselor is to help each person know and accept themselves. When I can provide that kind of counseling relationship, clients are much more likely to find their own strengths and wisdom. By listening with compassion and empathy, rather than judgment, I am more likely to help clients find greater harmony and peace in their relationships.

“I have an earned Ph.D. concentrating in individual, marriage and family counseling from a cognitive/ behavioral framework based on a Biblical foundation. I attempt to do all that I can to promote the client's best well being.

“Life can be full of challenges, transitions, losses and confusion-- each crisis painful in its own way and requiring a process of grief that leads to healing. As a counselor, I believe that each crisis also offers an opportunity, that "the valley can be a place of vision." It can be the place you learn more about who you really are, define what's really important to you, and choose a path or simply a way of being that you might not otherwise have chosen. I am passionate about helping people find healing and hope in the midst of life's challenges.

“We live in a time of rapid change and are constantly faced with challenges of balancing our lives which can so often affect our overall well being. My strength as a therapist is the ability to offer genuine individual care through a client-centered and supportive setting. My goal as a therapist is to help you realize when your circumstances make you feel out of control, there is hope. Hope in recognizing that we can find ways to respond to difficulties in a positive way.

“As a Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist, I utilize an individualized therapeutic approach unique to each individual's needs. I want to clients improve their quality of life by finding meaning and purpose, confidence, self-esteem, improved interpersonal relationships, and hope. I work with males and females, adults and adolescents. I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and have treated eating disorders for 20 plus years in a variety of settings. Other areas of focus include depression, panic and anxiety, grief, self-esteem, trauma, and improving coping skills. I enjoy working with clients who want to enhance their quality of life.

“Experience is the great teacher. The quality of your life is very dependent on past and present experiences. Depression, anxiety, loss,grief,PTSD,or relationship problems arise from difficult or traumatic personal experiences. Much of this stems from the way your autonomic system responds. Psychotherapy allows you to examine your emotional responses, your emotional expression and your personal history to reduce or eliminate present symptoms. As a result, you will have more joy and fulfillment in your daily living-to live in the NOW.
A phone consultation is encouraged to see if this is right for you.

My office is conveniently located and I am available on evenings and Saturdays.

“As a normal part of life, we run into unexpected transitions, stresses and losses. Relationship changes, work stress and health issues can create very uncomfortable feelings, physical problems, and we can even start behaving in ways that are not in line with how we want to go through this life. Counseling can help! I believe each human being can access the resources to live authentically and with integrity. I work cooperatively with clients to identify helpful means to reach each individual, couple or family's unique goals. I look forward to hearing from you.

“Life is full of transitions that shape us, drive us, and distinguish us as extraordinary and unique individuals. These experiences can be triumphs; they can also be challenges. I firmly believe that transitions and challenges are chances for you to become proactive and to dictate the outcome of those tribulations. In our time together, we will identify measurable and achievable goals, plan a path for achieving those goals, and work towards maintaining your new life position. We will work to identify your strengths and to utilize those strengths as tools in your journey for growth and change.

“Transition is a part of every person's life. Each of us inhabits many roles in our lives and personal transition often has a significant effect on ourselves and our relationships. My practice, Next Chapter Counseling, focuses on the struggles and issues that arise during life's transitions. My hope is to help people meet their therapeutic goals through both a better understanding of the roles in their life and an awareness of how their thoughts and perceptions of life's events directly affect their mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
